SONY XCL-S600C

In response to customer demand, Sony is proud to introduce a new top-of-the-line XCL CameraLink CameraSeries in monochrome and color. With their superb resolution and high frame rates, these new cameras delivera level of exceptional picture quality that analog cameras cannot achieve.The new XCL-S Series cameras incorporate a 1/1-type EXview HAD CCD II sensor which provides extremelyhigh sensitivity. In addition to inheriting many convenient functions from Sony's XCL Series, such as Bulk Triggerand Sequential Trigger modes, these new cameras also incorporate some unique features including ShadingCorrection, Defect Correction, and Temperature Readout.These new advanced features and benefits make XCL-S Series cameras ideal when the highest inspectionquality is demanded for display panels, semiconductors, solar panels, PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards), andpharmaceutical applications.

FEATURES

Near-infrared SensitivityUtilizing Sony's EXview HAD CCD II technology enablesXCL-S Series cameras to capture clear images in NIR(near-infrared) wavelengths. When used with an infraredstrobe, each camera produces outstanding picture qualityespecially in low light and NIR inspection applications.

High Frame Rate Image TransferXCL-S Series cameras feature a high readout rate ofuncompressed images for smooth and clear results. TheXCL-S600 and XCL-S600C achieve 27 frames per second (fps),and the XCL-S900 and XCL-S900C achieve 18 fps when fourchanneloutput is selected. This enables these cameras tocapture fast-moving objects without sacrificing image quality.

Shading CorrectionWith embedded shading correction, XCL-S Series camerasminimize the uneven image intensity often caused by lightingand/or the lens. Their internal hardware processing reducesthe need for external image correction that is normallyperformed via a frame grabber board and PC. This handyfunction reduces the processing load of the PC, and simplifiesthe processing task. In addition, these cameras are equippedwith three optional lighting settings to capture clear imagesin varying lighting conditions.

Temperature ReadoutEach camera comes with an internal temperature sensor. Thehost device can receive temperature information by issuinga command. This eliminates the need for a separate sensor,and simplifies system configuration.

Sensitivity ControlThe XCL-S Series is equipped with a saturation signal controlfunction to allow the amount of saturation signal chargeon the CCD to be increased or decreased via softwarecommands. For example when capturing dark objects, theuser can increase the amount of saturation signal charge —this elevates the camera's sensitivity to improve the picturequality instead of using a long exposure time*. On the otherhand, by decreasing the amount of saturation signal charge,the level of smear can be reduced or improved.* If the saturation signal charge amount exceeds the maximum that canbe transferred into the vertical and horizontal registers, a transfer error willoccur (e.g., smear).

Bulk Trigger Mode & Sequential Trigger ModeThese new XCL-S Series cameras feature advanced BulkTrigger and Sequential Trigger modes in addition to aconventional trigger mode. Each camera supports 16memory channels that can store up to 16 different camerasetups (e.g., exposure, and gain).Bulk Trigger mode allows these cameras to capture up to16 images in rapid succession using a single software orhardware trigger.Sequential Trigger mode allows each camera to capture asingle image using successive setups stored in the memorychannels with each software or hardware trigger.

Trigger Noise FilteringWith a trigger line filter, these cameras can specify a validpulse width for the trigger. This helps avoid unexpectedimage capture caused, for example, by triggers frominsignificant noise.

Pulse Train GeneratorXCL-S Series cameras are capable of outputting anyrectangular wave from one of the general-purpose outputs.This pulse train can be programmed for frequencies from0.5 Hz up to 100 KHz in 1 μs steps to control external devicessuch as LED lights, simplifying overall system configuration.
